Job Vacancies and Communicating With the Silent Type

An agency contact person is identified on the vacancy announcement of each federal job. Contact the agency contact person for your target job if you have any questions about:

· How your application has faired thus far in the selection process. Yes, the agency contact person can and will tell you whether your application has been rejected or is still being considered, whether you may be called for an interview, and what numerical score your application earned.

· The status of the selection process for your target job.

· Procedures for applying for your target job.

· The responsibilities and benefits of your target job.

Don’t be shy: it is the contact person’s job to answer questions from applicants like you.
